| They dropped SBC.... ?!? According to the previous review, they notified all their PacBell connected DSL clients on 11-22 that they were getting out of reselling SBC circuits and recommended that their customers find another ISP (a list was included) and then their circuits were, in fact, cut on 12-1-2002 according to the review.
That is why your DSL was "down" for a month (you were no longer a customer?) and there is no way they can or should be billing you for service they no longer provide. | |

| Re: They dropped SBC.... ?!?
My DSL service was down from Mid Oct. to Mid Nov. During this time, I was never able to get any support. Tech support never answers the phone or return my calls. I was lucky enough to finally catch someone from billing and was promised a return call I never received. I have already cancelled their service before I even received the SBC Circuit Disconnection notice. I have been with Covad since late NOV but still being charged my DSL Designs. I left multiple messages with billing but no one ever calls back....All I want is my service cancelled and to be reimbursed. I even have a cancellation email from their supposelly CEO.
Some one needs to with-up this company for improper business practices. | |

| Re: call billing I make over 50 return calls per day, in addition to my already overloaded workload.
We were out of the office on 12/31 and 1/1. If you can't get a hold of someone today (1/2), IM me and I'll give you my cell.

| My service was down for Oct 23rd until mid Nov when I finally gave up and decided to cancel the service. I rather pay money for new equipment and go with another company than to go through the stress I had to deal with during the outage. I understand that ASI is the local telco and getting a hold of them to resolve issues can sometimes be difficult, but all I requested for was status and maybe an attempt to help resolve the issue. I was never called. No email was ever sent to me. When I did finally get a hold of someone, they said a ticket was never opened even though I was promised a resolution and a return call by a sales rep. I left a VM and email almost every other day. Try being down for almost a month as a network administrator with an On-call pager.
If your support team is overloaded, maybe you can forward this email to your manager and request for more help. This is truely the absolute worst service I've ever experienced. This is also my first time posting such forum. You can not understand the stress and time lost I had due this this issue. Besides, I'm still trying to resolve other billing issues with your company.
I apologize for the ramping.....
By the way.. Covad offers 24 hr support and was able to get my service up within a week with greater speed. The same speed that I was requesting for while with DSLDesign but denied due to distance. I was told that the outage was due to the my home distance with telco.

| The worst I have ever experienced.
Everything started out OK with them but then I upgraded my service to obtain some new features they were offering. The new features never worked. After weeks of calling and emailing support I got a call back only to be informed that no one new how to make the new features work. I cancelled the upgrade but they continued to bill for 3 months despite phone calls and emails. I finally cancelled my credit card to stop them. When I spoke to billing they told me that they would be glad to credit the overcharge to my account against future monthly charges. A week later I received the infamous 'we will not be servicing SBC customers..." message. I am still receiving billing statements from these criminals. BTW, they have ducked out of California and are now operating out of the Phoenix Arizona area. Stay away from them as at best the are incompetent, at worst they are criminal and, in all reality they are incompetent criminals...
PS The only person who was ever worth anything was Tami. She was always courteous and helpful. I notice that there is no sign of her anymore. Her voice has even been taken off the answering machine ( that you ALWAYS get). [text was edited by author 2003-01-22 16:55:37]
